Titre : Earth's Fury : The science of natural disasters Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alexander Gates, Auteur Editeur : Wiley Blackwell Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 403p. Présentation : ill. Format : 27.5cm ×22cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-119-54659-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 363 - Autres problèmes et services sociaux Résumé : .
EARTH’S FURY
Natural disasters are any catastrophic loss of life and/or property caused by a natural event or situation. This definition could include biologic issues such as contagion, injurious bacterial colonization, invasion of dangerous plants and infestations of insects and other vermin. However, the popular understanding of what constitutes a natural disaster still focuses on disasters involving the physical properties of the earth and its atmosphere: earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, avalanches, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods and wildfires.
Earth’s Fury: The Science of Natural Disasters attempts to combine the best features of a scientific textbook and an encyclopedia. It retains the organization of a textbook and adopts the highly illustrative graphics of some of the newer and more effective textbooks. The book’s unique approach is evident in its plethora of case studies: short, self-contained and well-illustrated stories of specific natural disasters that are highly engaging for both science and non-science majors. The stories incorporate the science into the event so students appreciate and remember it as part of the story. By relating the event to the impact on society and human lives, the science is placed in the context of the student’s real life.
Boasting a number of striking and highly detailed double-page illustrations of disaster-producing features, including volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes, this book is as much a visual resource as a textbook. For students who are probably most familiar with natural disasters through Hollywood movies, this book’s own “widescreen presentation” is coupled with exciting stories which will enhance their interest as well as their understanding.
Whether they are science or non-science majors, Earth’s Fury: The Science of Natural Disasters will appeal to all students, with its fresh approach and engaging style.Note de contenu : .

Titre : Life in the open ocean : The biology of pelagic species Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Joseph J.Torres, Auteur ; Thomas G.Bailey, Auteur Editeur : Wiley Blackwell Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 988p. Présentation : ill. Format : 25cm x 17.5cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4051-4529-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : .
-Life in the Open Ocean: The Biology of Pelagic Species provides in-depth coverage of the different marine animal groups that form the communities inhabiting the ocean’s pelagic realm. This comprehensive resource explores the physical environment, foraging strategies, energetics, locomotion, sensory mechanisms, global and vertical distributions, special adaptations, and other characteristics of a wide array of marine taxa.
-Bringing together the most recent information available in a single volume, authors Joseph J. Torres and Thomas G. Bailey cover the Cnidaria (stinging jellies), the ctenophores (comb jellies), pelagic nemerteans, pelagic annelids, crustaceans, cephalopods and pelagic gastropods, invertebrate chordates, as well as micronektonic and larger fishes such as sharks, tunas, mackerels, and mahi-mahi. Detailed chapters on each pelagic group describe internal and external anatomy, classification and history, feeding and digestion, bioluminescent systems and their function, reproduction and development, respiration, excretion, nervous systems, and more. The first book of its kind to address all of the major animal groups comprising both the swimmers and drifters of the open sea, this important resource:
*Explains how different animals have adapted to live in the open-ocean environment
*Covers all sensory mechanisms of animals living in the pelagic habitat, including photoreception, mechanoreception, and chemoreception
*Treats the diverse micronekton assemblage as a community
*Includes a thorough introduction to the physical oceanography and properties of water in the pelagic realm
-Life in the Open Ocean: The Biology of Pelagic Species is an excellent senior-level undergraduate and graduate textbook for courses in biology and biological oceanography, and a valuable reference for all those with interest in open-ocean biology.Note de contenu : .
